Chapter 265: Great Strength Creates Miracles
Ye Fan smiled, lowered his head, and looked at the dart in his hand. Then he said, "Xiao Xi, watch carefully."
After speaking, he raised his right hand high and swung it back. His left foot stepped forward slightly, landing just in front of the red line. His right arm swung through the air in a 180-degree arc, and the dart in his hand shot out like lightning.
It was so fast that the eye couldn't even catch it.
"Clang—"
A dull sound rang out as the dart's tail was revealed in the exact center of the target.
As for the plastic body of the dart, it had completely embedded itself into the target.
This scene left the three people at the counter dumbfounded.
The most astonished among them was undoubtedly Ning Xi. She excitedly grabbed Ye Fan's arm, pointing at the target with her little hand, so thrilled that she didn't even know what to say.
"It hit... So amazing!"
Feeling the girl's excitement, Ye Fan's lips curled into a smile. He said, "Xiao Xi, this is called 'brute force creates miracles.' You must remember, no matter how impossible something seems, as long as it exists, it can be achieved. Understand?"
"Mm-hmm."
Ning Xi nodded obediently.
As for Shao Qiaolan and Shao Yang, the mother and son behind the counter, they were already in complete shock.
Especially Shao Yang—his mouth hung open, his face full of disbelief. Unwilling to accept it, he got up and walked to the target, staring at the embedded dart while swallowing hard.
Oh my god!
Is this guy even human?
Shao Yang grabbed the dart's tail with his right hand and pulled hard, trying to figure out what was going on.
A dart without a head could still hit the target?
Ridiculous!
But the reality was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.
What happened next left Shao Yang even more stunned. No matter how hard he pulled, the dart wouldn't budge. Frustrated, he used both hands, but the result was the same.
In the end, Shao Yang's face turned bright red from the strain. With no other choice, he tried to remove the target from the wall, only to discover that he couldn't... take it down at all.
This...
Could it have been nailed directly into the wall?
As soon as this thought surfaced in Shao Yang's mind, his face turned slightly pale, and his gaze toward Ye Fan carried a hint of fear.
This guy looks even younger than me, so how does he have such monstrous strength?
A freak!
Sensing Shao Yang's gaze, Ye Fan smirked, clenched his right fist, and shook it slightly as he muttered to himself, "It's been a while since I practiced boxing. I wonder if I can still break a sandbag with one punch like before."
His voice wasn't loud, but Shao Yang heard it clearly. He immediately shrank his neck and lowered his head in panic.
Break a sandbag with one punch?
What the hell!
For the sake of his own safety, he absolutely couldn't provoke this terrifying guy.
At this moment, Shao Yang truly felt like crying. He had really been asking for it earlier!
Why did he have to mess with this guy's girlfriend?
It was like digging his own grave!
If this guy held a grudge against him, Shao Yang feared he wouldn't live to see tomorrow's sunrise.
Ning Xi's eyes curved in amusement as she struggled to hold back her laughter.
Of course, she could tell that Ye Fan was subtly warning Shao Yang. Under her mask, the dimples on both her cheeks deepened.
Shao Qiaolan, standing beside them, was secretly in awe. She quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Congratulations, you've earned a free meal."
As she spoke, she hurriedly took out a bunch of small gifts, smiling warmly. "These are gifts prepared by our restaurant. Every customer who dines here can receive one. There were four people in your private room 306, so here are four sets. We hope you'll visit us again."
"Thank you."
Ye Fan nodded and didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up the four sets of gifts, turned his head, and immediately noticed Su Ke and Luo Yumeng standing a few meters away, their faces full of astonishment.
"Xiao Xi, let's go."
"Okay."
Ning Xi once again held Ye Fan's hand, but when she noticed her two best friends, her face instantly turned red, and she tried to pull her hand back.
Would Ye Fan let go?
Of course not!
Just as they stepped outside, Luo Yumeng, who had been following behind them, couldn't help but ask, "Ye Fan, you didn't pay for the meal, and you even got four gifts?"
When she and Su Ke came downstairs, they had just happened to overhear Shao Qiaolan's words. The two girls were completely shocked.
A free meal and gifts on top of that?
Too good to be true!
"Mm."
Ye Fan nodded expressionlessly and handed the gift bags to Luo Yumeng. "You and Su Ke can have two each. Xiao Xi and I don't need them."
Luo Yumeng accepted them happily, but just a few seconds later, a strange expression appeared on her face. She glanced at their interlocked hands and sighed helplessly. "Could you two at least consider our feelings? You're practically rubbing it in our faces!"
Su Ke nodded in agreement.
She had been wanting to say this earlier.
They were all high school seniors. Why could these two openly flaunt their relationship like this?
Didn't they fear divine punishment?
Ning Xi was so embarrassed she didn't know what to say. She kept trying to break free, but Ye Fan's grip was as strong as an iron clamp. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape.
Ye Fan chuckled and nodded. "You misunderstood. Xiao Xi and I are just good friends right now. We're not actually dating."
Upon hearing this, the two girls' faces were filled with skepticism.
Believing that was about as likely as believing pigs could climb trees!
Before they could refute him, Ye Fan's next words dealt them a devastating blow.
"Besides, you should start getting used to it. Things like this will happen often in the future."
"..."
"..."
Su Ke and Luo Yumeng exchanged a silent, lifeless glance.
Was this even human speech?
Ning Xi bit her lip hard, lowering her head to avoid her two friends' gazes. Her thoughts were a mess.
This guy was getting more and more outrageous!
What did he mean by "things like this will happen often in the future"?
She hadn't even...
Despite her internal complaints, Ning Xi realized she wasn't as angry as she had imagined. She only felt a little embarrassed.
As soon as she noticed this, her emotions grew even more complicated.
Could it be that she had already fallen for him?
No way, definitely not!
It was all an illusion. Yes, just an illusion!
But self-reassurance couldn't change reality.
It was just a girl's futile attempt at self-deception.
The four of them parted ways at an intersection.
Su Ke and Luo Yumeng headed to a nearby department store to shop, but Ning Xi had no interest in that. Right now, all she wanted was to focus on improving her writing skills.
To her, taking time out to eat hot pot was already a luxury. Though she had only taken a single bite, she was already satisfied.
As for shopping?
No way—she wasn't qualified for that yet!
Ye Fan followed Ning Xi completely.
Whatever she wanted to do, he would do it with her.
For him, as long as he was with Ning Xi, that was the happiest thing.
By around three in the afternoon, Ye Fan and Ning Xi arrived at the entrance of Haihuang Community.
As soon as she got out of the car, Ning Xi ran toward a willow tree on the sidewalk.
Ye Fan was utterly confused by her next actions...
